PRISM Continues to Grow

Jul 28, 2010 12:29 PM

PRISM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARGUS International, has experienced significant growth in 2010 as the demand for safety management system implementation continues to increase worldwide. PRISM, Professional Resources In System Management, offers a full suite of products and services including safety management system (SMS) solutions, safety and security training, system design and implementation, manuals and consulting.

PRISM SMS is a comprehensive package of products and services that can be customized to meet the specific requirements of any operation and is completely IS-BAO compliant. Four different levels of packages are available as on-going subscriptions: Basic, Essential, Professional and Enterprise. With more than 150 subscribers in total, 100 operators have now signed up for the Professional and Enterprise package levels, which includes the Aviation Risk Management Online Resource (ARMOR). A web-based system, ARMOR allows operators to manage the activity within their SMS from any Internet accessible location around the globe, 24 hours a day.

ARGUS CEO Joe Moeggenberg said that ARGUS had been active in SMS services for nearly a decade and that the company understood all the different components that come together in a SMS, with PRISM assigned to be a total solution. This means all the materials and tools needed are available and included.

“The operator’s active involvement with PRISM is what makes it a functional and appropriate SMS for their particular operation," Moeggenberg said. "The fact that more than 100 operators are subscribing to our highest level programs confirms that this is the right product, at the right time and the right price for our industry.”

“Our hope was that PRISM would not only simplify the burden of compliance, but would increase the number of supporters who understand the benefits associated with proper system implementation,” said William (Bill) Yantiss, former Vice President of Safety, Quality and Security for United Airlines, who now leads PRISM. "Not only has the number of PRISM subscribers continued to grow, but their activity levels within their SMS are increasing, which confirms our belief that their SMS has become an integral part of their daily operating culture."
